Hi, my name is Tawnya, I am 35 years old and a professional career nanny. I have a bachelor's degree in cognitive psychology and a post-baccalaureate degree in early childhood education, both earned at MSU Denver, in the state of Colorado.

My top five qualities that make me a perfect match for this career are my trustworthiness, playfulness, communication skills, patience, and my see-a-need-fill-a-need mentality.

These are simply a few of my strengths that have made me excel in my career, however, I am highly confident and capable in many other areas as well.

I would love the opportunity to share more about myself and showcase my skills, please feel free to connect with me if you believe I can be an asset to your family, thank you!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

preschool and kindergarten classrooms

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I incorporate both Montessori and Reggio Emilia based practices in my work, this involves a lot of hands on learning to promote cognitive development, fine motor skills, and increase a child's natural curiosity. Some favorite activities include, exploring in nature, going to the beach for sensory play in the sand, and also getting messy in the kitchen.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Everything, truly, everything. Nannies play such an integral role in a young child's life because of their brain development happening during these key years, it is so important to be the best model possible for these little humans. Being respectful to the child, honoring their feelings and big emotions, expressing good manners, teaching consent, are just some of the many important factors that I believe should be modeled and continually reinforced to a young, growing child.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have worked with numerous families and all have brought me special memories that will last a life time. I love to laugh and the children I take care of are really good at filling my days with laughter and love. One special memory I have is of one of my nanny kiddos referring to the character Woodstock (from the Peanuts) as Chickenstock, this was years ago, and it still brings a smile to my face when I am reminded of it.

Sophie W. - Seeking Work in Santa Barbara

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Santa Barbara, CA: Sophie W.

Hi families! I’m an upcoming third year student at UCSB who is looking for a fun way to spend the summer. I worked with kids with learning and developmental disabilities in high school, and have a younger “brother” (Godmother’s son) who I have been hanging out with since he was born in 2011. We love going to the movies, the park, and swimming. We build legos, work on homework, and frequent the trampoline park. He has a nanny most of the time, so I consider myself more of a friend towards him! I’d love to be your child’s friend as well as a teacher of sorts. I can’t wait to build a relationship with your family - I believe I have just as much to learn from your child as they do from me!

Full-Time Nanny Available in Santa Barbara, CA: Michaela F.

I am a second year student at UCSB studying psychological and brain sciences. I will be doing online school for the next year, with most of my classes at night time and I am looking for a full time nanny position:) I have been babysitting since I was around 12 years old and the majority of my experience is with children from newborn-4 years old. I can provide references for this as well! A bit about myself- I was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas and was in the International Baccalaureate program from 1st through 12th grade. I have taken 5 years of Spanish, 7 years of French, and 1 year of Italian- so if you are interested, I also enjoy teaching children basic vocabulary from other languages. I am planning to get an MD/JD joint degree and would love to begin work in forensic psychiatry and then transition later to Doctors Without Borders, or possibly UNICEF. I love children, and prefer to spend most of my free time with them. I am also fully vaccinated & CPR certified.
